Everything’s an effort 😂

First time mum here and I’m 34 weeks pregnant as I’m getting near to my due date just finding everything is such an effort and uncomfortable - even the smallest things like getting up off the sofa or turning over in bed??? My bump is really achey I’m assuming from the weight it’s carrying and I feel some pressure down below is this all normal? Don’t know how I’m gonna cope for another six weeks 😂

I know how you feel! It’s really tough near the end. Luckily it only really hit me at about 37 weeks then I left work at 38 weeks but then she didn’t come til 41+5.

Just use this as a good excuse to do absolutely nothing and be lazy xx

I’m the same nearly 33weeks however I can’t sit around as I have a son who’s just over 9month old and he’s teething so no rest for the wicked although I’m finding it exhausting wouldn’t change it for the world xxx

All normal sadly... I remember having to hold onto the head of the bed to roll in bed 😂

I really understand you, I am 38 weeks pregnant and I am feeling the same. I stopped working two weeks ago because getting in/out the car was a nightmare! Now I am resting the whole day because even sleeping is difficult 😂. Just looking forward to the big day.

3rd baby for us! And I’m completely the same! Fed up! I’m 36 wks Wednesday! Babies head has been engaged since 32 wks so lots of pressure as well!

With a 2 year old and a 4 year old it’s hard to to even have a cup of tea to chill out for five minutes!

Plus we have been decorating rooms swopping rooms around as well! No time for resting yet!

Enjoy your free time and rest as much as you can! Savour this time! 🤗

I found the third trimester the hardest and I didn’t know how I was going to last. It’s uncomfortable but very normal. You will get through it. Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy x

Although I was induced and our boy was born at 38+3, he weighed 8lb 13oz and I had a massive bump. Turning in bed I had to do in 3 separate movements, I got stuck on our and also our friends recliner settees as I had reclined all the way back to lying down to get comfy n couldn't get the recliner back down and don't even get me started on the 10 minutes it took me to put my socks and leggings on 😂! Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy and baby's birth! Xx
